THE EFFECTIVENESS OF UTILIZING
BANANA ( MUSA ) PSEUDO-STEM
FIBER AS AN ALTERNATIVE
BIODEGRADABLE TO DISPOSAL
FACE MASK
STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
Generally, this study was conducted to determine the
Effectiveness of Utilizing Banana (Musa) Pseudo-STEM as an
alternative Biodegradable to Disposable Face Mask.
Specifically, it seeks to answer the following questions:
1. What are the physical and chemical properties of Banana
Pseudo- STEM fiber in comparison with other types of
plants or natural fibers?
2. What are the advantages of using a biodegradable
alternative face mask out of Banana (Musa) Pseudo-STEM
over the commercial disposable face mask in terms of:
2.1 Environment
2.2 Health Concern
2.3 Marketability/Economic
3. Is there a significant difference between the commercially
available disposable face mask and the alternative
biodegradable disposable face mask out of Banana (Musa)
Pseudo-STEM?
4. Is there any significant difference in the effectiveness of
Banana (Musa) Pseudo-STEM Fiber between controlled and
experimental set-up?
5. What improvements may be made to the proposed product?
Scope, Limitation and Delimitation
The researchers limited this study to the effectiveness of
utilizing Banana (Musa) pseudo stem fiber as an Alternative
Biodegradable to Disposable Face Mask. The banana
(Musa) pseudo is the main material for the eco-friendly face
mask. The purpose of using Banana Pseudo stem fiber
acquires promising results as studies show Banana as one
of the most useful plants.
Moreover, the study will be limited to the physical and
chemical properties of specific part of the banana which is the
pseudo stem that have undergone different studies.
SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
This study will be a meaningful attempt in promoting a
good work outcome in enhancing our environment by
minimizing waste. Regulating the study gives an intent to
fulfill the knowledge needed based on the application of
Banana (Musa) Pseudo-STEM Fiber as an Alternative
Biodegradable to Disposable Face Mask
SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
Benefiting the study are the various sectors as follows:
• The Community
• The Health Care Personnel
• To the Whole Front liners
SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
• To the Environment
• To the Department of Environment and Natural Resources
• To the Future researchers
RESEARCH DESIGN
This study employed the experimental method of research to
collect accurate data and address the objectives of this study. It
used experimental design wherein variables are carefully
controlled and manipulated. This method was used to test the
hypotheses and gather valid information with The Effectiveness
of utilizing Banana (Musa) Pseudostem fiber as an Alternative
Biodegradable to Disposable facemask” this study will utilize a
true experimental research design to produce an eco-friendly
face Mask from banana (Musa) pseudostem.
As stated by Blakstad (2016), experimental research was
commonly used in the field of science where investigations and
experimentations were done to create a new beneficial product.
